A white Epiphany

I spent the day at my brother's... who by the way, didn't pay too much attention to my present... I'm not even sure he liked it... Oh well!

It was raining cats and dogs when we got there, and for once (more!) I wished it was snow instead of rain. My coat was drowning in the cold rain, and for another one, my brother agreed with me.

After having lunch we all sat down for a movie, but just before that we listened to the news and they were announcing snow at 100 meters. My brother said to me: "not a chance we get it here. This is Barcelona, it rarely snows here. Besides we are at 66 meters". But that is where he lives... I live at 400 meters. So, I left his comment unanswered, probably cause the child in me was telling me I might get lucky later on... And I did!

Just half an hour past the time he left me home, it started snowing! I haven't seen snow in Barcelona since I was a kid, and boy, oh boy! What a marvelous treat that was!

It is snowing still, and all the cars parked on the street and the hill right in front of my building are already covered by a white blanket. I can't wait to see how it is gonna look in the morning! I hope it keeps snowing all night, otherwise, what already is in the ground might not hold... We'll see.
